"What we had as clues in the past, now from the inside from the position of the Ministry, from the Government, we are checking them and it is confirmed as a serious crime. These two entities, which I informed the public about, I must emphasize that they are supported by all the evidence, and have been processed by the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Financial Police", said the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, Cvetan Tripunovski during today's visit to the show "For or against" on Alfa television.

"I use this opportunity once again to call on the Public Prosecutor's Office not to remain silent on this report, to act immediately within the framework of its powers because I will not back down from this crime that was committed and is supported by evidence." From the position of a minister, I have the obligation to protect the budget and normally to check who has worked and how in the past, because it is state money", said the minister.

He indicated that at the moment 5 cases are being handled in the Ministry. On Tuesday, 2 cases were presented, and the other 3 will be presented to the public very soon.

"My appearances are not to say that the previous government committed abuses, I supported my reports to the competent institutions with documents and evidence that de facto expose their criminal behavior," explained Tripunovski.
